Prioritize money from the DOD budget to building solar farms, infrastructure repair, education and promote private solar

Created by K.L. on January 12, 2013

To the Administration:

Germany recently passed a record of creating 12% of their energy from Solar Power. I live in AZ. Can you imagine how much solar we could get from a solar farm or 3 in this state that has sun every day of the year? We are breaking ground on one 700 mw farm now but we can do more. I am frustrated that no administration has pushed a solar agenda for the US. India has a 600mw solar farm, Spain and other countries are pushing a solar agenda. Building Solar farms would create jobs and lower emissions. We also need to make incredibly large investment on a federal level on infrastructure which would also create jobs. If we took 10% of the DOD budget and invested in these things we could create millions of jobs that would lift the economy out of the slumps it is in.
